Více než dvacet let je Tom Waits kocourkem a kostelníkem současné hudby, zpěvákem se zlatým srdcem a drsným hlasem. Jeho roztrhaný hlas a znepokojivé texty okouzlily fanoušky po celém světě, zachycující zničené naděje a opilé sny nešťastníků. Small Change, první biografie tohoto jedinečného umělce, sleduje Waitse od jeho raných let jako pizzového kuchaře a hasiče až po mistrovská alba jako Rain Dogs a Frank's Wild Years, která mu v osmdesátých letech přinesla kritické uznání. Vize Waitse jako herce (Down by Law, Ironweed), Waitse jako skladatele (One from the Heart), Waitse na turné ("Nová kapela jsou samí trpaslíci, sdílejí pokoj") a nádherné fotografie vytvářejí vítaný portrét hudby, která ovlivnila U2, Elvis Costello a The Pogues, a muže, jehož zničený hlas a moudrost z whisky nám ukázaly vysoký život, nízký život a vše, co leží mezi tím.

In einer Karriere von 30 Jahren hat Tom Waits über 20 Alben aufgenommen, darunter Small Change und Blue Valentine, und seine Songs wurden von einer Vielzahl von Künstlern gecovert, darunter Bruce Springsteen, Meatloaf und Johnny Cash. Dies ist ein kritischer Überblick über Waits' Karriere, einschließlich einer Diskografie und Filmografie.

In the first biography ever written about Paul Simon, Humphries assesses the superstar's long career: the early days; the immortal hits; the successful collaboration and subsequent break with Art Garfunkel; the career as solo artist; and the triumphant release of Graceland (winner of the Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year).

For more than twenty years, Tom Waits has been the rag and bone man of contemporary music, a singer with a heart of gold and a voice of gravel. His ragged voice and haunting lyrics have enraptured fans worldwide, capturing the tattered hopes and boozy dreams of hard-luck cases everywhere. Small Change, the first biography of this unique performer, tracks Waits from his early days as a pizza chef and fireman right up to the masterful albums such as Rain Dogs and Frank's Wild Years that brought Waits critical acclaim in the eighties. Visions of Waits the actor (Down by Law, Ironweed), Waits the composer (One from the Heart), Waits on tour ("The new band is all midgets, they share a room"), and wonderful photos all add up to a welcome portrait of the music that has influenced U2, Elvis Costello, and The Pogues, and of the man whose ravaged voice and whiskey wisdom have shown us the high life, the low life, and all that lies between.
